Powdered alcohol has been approved for sale in the United States, and is expected to be available starting this fall.

The Phoenix, Arizona based company Palcohol has developed the substance, which can be mixed with water or other liquids to create an instant alcoholic beverage.

The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) approved seven versions of the product, according to Lehrman Beverage Law: two rum-flavored, two vodka-flavored, one Cosmopolitan-flavored, one Lemon Drop-flavored, and one Margarita-flavored.

Previously, Palcohol was touting its newly approved product as a way to sneak alcohol into venues where you would otherwise have to pay "pay $10, $15, $20 for a mixed drink with tax and tip," Huffington Post reported.

Lehrman Beverage Law noted the large number of legal issues that could be raised by promoting the product in such a way, and Palcohol now presents the substance as "a great convenience for the person on the go."

Palcohol also responded to the idea that their substance could be snorted as part of the lengthy post on the front page of the company's website:

"We have seen comments about goofballs wanting to snort it. Don't do it! It is not a responsible or smart way to use the product. To take precautions against this action, we've added volume to the powder so it would take more than a half of a cup of powder to get the equivalent of one drink up your nose. You would feel a lot of pain for very little gain. Just use it the right way."

National Public Radio noted that each state will have to set its own regulations for selling powdered alcohol which could take some states a long time.

NPR also said that the substance could be dissolved in too small an amount of water, creating a beverage with dangerously high concentrations of alcohol.

"The Palcohol company had better get some really, really good liability insurance," writes Lehrman Beverage Law.
